re: .

If it's the one I'm thinking of, I think there are multiple plaintiffs alleging 1983 violations. I don't think I've read anything about class certification, but this may be to head off the entire debacle of defending each individual case or dragging it out to fight a class action.

I want to read the Advocate article tomorrow and maybe we'll know more then. But I'm like you... assuming multiple plaintiffs, this is out of the ordinary if it's not cost of defense
